My wife recently gave birth to our first child, and it was a long 6-day process that she had been terrified of for the entirety of her pregnancy. Isabel was there for my wife throughout different stages and deserves to be recognized. Isabel helped my wife during the early stages, giving my wife peace of mind, comfort, and ease during the cervical ripening stage and all the way through delivery, which totaled three days. Whenever my wife felt nervous or worried about what was going on or confused about what was next, Isabel comforted her by explaining in simple terms what was going on and meeting every single one of her needs. Not only that, Isabel was so personable with my wife and me, laughing with her and joking to help take her mind off the stress. Those first few days she really was a lifesaver for my wife and me, and honestly, we could not put into words how thankful we were for her during the duration of our visit. Isabel is amazing and deserves to be recognized!
